Influenza virus A/USSR/90/77 variants adapted to mouse blood serum (USSR/90-MS) and lungs (USSR/90-ML) resistant to beta-inhibitors of mouse serum differ by biological properties and hemagglutinin (HA) structure. One of glycosylation site (GS) located at the tip of HA spike near the receptor binding site is lost because of mutations in both variants: GS 158 (Asn158Asp substitution) in USSR/90-MS and GS131 (Asp131Asp substitution) in USSR/90-ML. Probably adaptation to mouse lungs and serum represents adaptation to different types of receptor molecules. From these data we conclude that mouse lungs and/or bronchi and serum contain different beta-like inhibitors. Presumably the inhibitors in the lungs contain some additional factors in comparison with the serum, adaptation to which allows a wider spectrum of virus resistance to homologous and to many other normal animal sera.

The importance of humoral immunity in combating TB has gained extensive recognition. In this study, a subunit vaccine named Ag85A-LpqH (AL) was prepared by fusing the antigen Ag85A proved to induce robust T cell immune responses, and LpqH was shown to produce protective antibodies. The prevention and BCG prime-boost mouse models were established to test the vaccine efficacy.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that arises from diverse etiological factors, resulting in structural alterations and functional impairment of the kidneys. We aimed to establish the Anoikis-related gene signature in CKD by bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We retrieved 3 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) of them, which were intersected with Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to derive Anoikis-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs).

Background: is a differentially expressed gene (DEG) between M1 and M2 macrophages. This study explained why it causes opposite effects in different circumstances.
Methods: Gene expression profiles of various cell subsets were compared by mining a public database.

Background: Corilagin is widely distributed in various medicinal plants. In recent years, numerous pharmacological activities of Corilagin have been reported, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-fibrosis effects. However, there is still a need for systematic metabolomics analysis to further elucidate its mechanisms of action.
